From the moment I arrived at the airport in Mongolia, I had no idea what the itinerary of the trip was or what I was going to be doing on any given day. I was immediately given an updated itinerary that was completely different from the one I viewed online when I initially purchased this trip. However, this was not followed either. We covered some of the sights on different days, while others were completely omitted. A flight to the Gobi Desert was also removed from our schedule, and instead replaced with a multi-day marathon car ride during which we saw nothing of interest, and which felt like out guide was merely trying to "kill time". Additionally, our guide definitely "played favorites" with our group, always riding in the same vehicle and giving explanations to the same four passengers, while ignoring the travelers in the other cars who had non-English speaking drivers. Furthermore, the guide would frequently insult and bad-mouth some of the travelers to the others, for what he perceived as slights to his authority. For example, I overheard him saying that several of us were disrespectful when we didn't hear that we needed to fasten out seatbelts while riding the bus. In general his demeanor, was rude, insulting and condescending. I will not be traveling with Exodus again. The only reason I didn't rate this trip as "Bad" was that we did attend the Eagle Festival which was great. I highly recommend going, just with a different tour operator.Show more

Reply from: Exodus Adventure Travels
We would like to thank Mark for his review, although we were so sorry to hear that his time in Mongolia was not as positive as he was expecting. We are aware that there were some major itinerary changes on this trip which were unfortunately outside of Exodus’ control, as airlines ceased to operate the route between Ulaanbaatar and the Gobi. We proactively informed our groups of this change as soon as we learned of it prior to the group’s departure, and we are confident that we did this in a clear and timely fashion. Further, we believed that any itinerary changes made on the ground were communicated and resolved to the groups’ satisfaction, and so it is a matter of real regret that this was not Mark’s experience. With regards to vehicle sharing, we understand that this was a precaution taken, with the group’s agreement, against COVID-19. We were very concerned, however, to read Mark’s comments about the tour leader on this trip. Our leaders overwhelmingly get very positive write-ups, which was reflected in the feedback we had received for this departure prior to this review. Following this, however, we are waiting for this tour leader to finish a trip he is currently leading in Mongolia in order for him to provide a response to Mark’s comments, and we will update our reply to his review once he does so.

The description of this tour was not adequate - the packing suggestions were absurd - you might need walking shoes for the occasional walk!!!! - if we had not all had walking shoes or boots we wouldn't have managed anything; describing toileting facilities as 'shared' did not really communicate that you needed to go to another building of variable distance from your ger in the middle of a very cold night to pee. Alot of time was spent driving over very bumpy vague tracks - I realize that the destinations were interesting, but there was no chance to stop for photos, or just to enjoy the view. It all felt very rushed.Show more

  Could you explain to me how the 'Group Flight' is scheduled. As I understand it, international flights are not included in this package. How is the group flight arranged and what is its point of departure. Is this something you arrange at additional expense. Can I schedule my own flights, and if so will you provide me with the details of the group flight so I can join the airport transfer?
- Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written July 2022
  Our group flight is a round trip flight that we purchase tickets on originating in London, England. We can absolutely look into adding these to the booking for an additional fee. The pricing and availability does need to be confirmed at the time of booking however a ballpark idea of the price is USD$2500.00 per person.
